Bainbridge
Organic Distiller’s Legacy Vodka earned that distinction at the
World Vodka Awards in London Thursday. The vodka beat out more than
1,000 brands from 25 countries, according to a news release.

The selection was made by an independent tasting panel. This is
how judges described Bainbridge’s entry:

This is an excellent spirit that’s well balanced and full of
individual character, great potential for cocktails. It has a
powerful but soft nose with berry fruits and grain coming through.
Rich, creamy, marshmallow flavours develop nicely on the
palate.

The Legacy Vodka also won the award for best packaging
design.

Bainbridge Organic Distillers
opened in 2009. The company produces vodka, Doug fir gin and
whiskey in small batches.

With 6,122 residents enrolled in expanded Medicaid programs,

already exceeded its target number by 160 percent, according to a
release from the state Health Care
Authority.

Kitsap has enrolled a total of 16,406 residents in Medicaid
since the start of the Affordable Care Act rollout in Oct. 1. That
figure includes new and renewing enrollees.

Though open enrollment for private health plans offered through
the state exchange ends March 31, applications for Medicaid are
accepted all year.

The historic store and cafe closed Jan. 2 for a remodel and
